Because that isn’t the determining factor for whether you’re getting a good deal. A bit of an oversimplification, but it doesn’t matter to you how the manufacturer and the bank account for their respective profits and losses. For a stretch during covid, this was one of the few bright spots in leasing: > [@I got 99 problems and a Frontier ain’t one.

Perhaps your local, friendly Nissan store doesn’t have the S 4WD Crew Cab that’s sporting a downright silly residual of 99%…Not to fret! You have options… Barring any market adjustments, rate markup or dealer adds, we have taken the liberty of perusing the programs on these trucks (Specifically 18 month programs using NMAC) and doing a ranking from 1-6 (2WD/4WD columns) based on … 99% RV means almost all of the cost was rent charge. But the trucks were really cheap. It wouldn’t have made any difference if the RVs were lower and the MFs were almost zero if the lease cost was the same. All that really matters is how much the lease will cost you in total, and there are other key variables (dealer discounts, incentives, not accepting any worthless add-ons, whether the MF is marked up, etc.). Now… if you could deduct the rent charges from your taxes… okay, then there would be a reason to care. --- _[View the full topic](https://forum.leasehackr.com/t/deal-check-2023-rav4-prime/516809)._
